Calcium Phosphate(CAS: 7758-87-4)

Calcium phosphate is a chemical compound with the formula Ca3(PO4)2. It is a white, odorless powder that is insoluble in water and commonly used as a phosphate source in various industries. It is a naturally occurring mineral and is also synthesized for specific applications.

Calcium phosphate is widely used in pharmaceuticals as a filler and binding agent, in the food industry as a nutritional supplement, in industrial applications for water treatment and as a flame retardant, and in research for bone tissue engineering and as a reagent in chemical processes.

Calcium phosphate is generally considered safe when used in appropriate amounts and under proper handling conditions. It is non-toxic and has minimal health risks, but as with any chemical, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or contact with skin and eyes. Safety standards are in place for its use in food and pharmaceutical products.

Calcium phosphate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances. It is stable under normal storage conditions and does not require special refrigeration. However, it should be kept in a sealed container to prevent contamination and maintain its quality.
